You got the wrong kit for your console.

Looks great!!
I did double din on my 996. I have to do a small filler below the bezel. Not that bad though.

It came this way with the car.

So I found this kit at Crutchfield:

This should be the right one for my 2002 Boxster Base. Has anyone had any experience with it?

This is the one I bought, it is made by a company called CONNECTS2, they also do all the different harnesses aswell and great customer support, they know their stuff. The ebay seller that I got this from, Dynamic Sound is a distributor for Connects2.

Thanks M9G.

I ordered a Quik Jack last night. Woo hoo!

In addition to painting my exhaust tip, and installing those awesome facelift vents, I pulled out the trunk carpet... the wood platforms underneath... and installed a radiant heat barrier (silver both sides, 16"x25' roll, The Home Depot).

Next time I go for a cruise upon my return I'll check to see if at all it helped keep the trunk heat down, and will report upon this forum my findings.

Congrats on the Quik Jack, Brian!

:cheers:

Got pics of the tip and vents?

Question
 

I like it! After all was done with the conversion. If I may ask what did this cost?

Beautiful day, beautiful scenery, beautiful car, beautiful couple.

Doesn't get much better than that! :cheers:

Nice! Independence Pass?

The vents look great, imho. The painted tailpipe... not so much.

I'd painted it before... but the paint didn't stick... so I'd end up sanding down the pipe leaving it looking like ****************. Again I used engine paint... prepped... warmed the pipe... put on about 4 coats in between letting each coat dry. After the final coat heated up the pipe nicely... looked great.

Keyword: Looked. I did the finger test... running it on the underside of the tip... my finger emerging black. Quickly the gloss faded and is almost powdered. Where I run my finger... the paint comes with it. So... I'll go out today and remove the paint exposing the "brushed" stainless "look".

That said... next mod will be a chan-exhaust. :cool:

Thank you. Stock 16s. I have another set with some Pirelliwhatevers, and powdercoated in metallic silver/grey. I sawp the sets every so often.

The powdercoater in town (who did my 8 wheels) wants to respray the silver/grey to a slightly metallic red... to match the interior. I don't know. Thoughts?

The last 2 Mustangs (convertibles) I owned (08 & 12) were silver. Black was all I had to run with. Silver and black... yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn. if it weren't for the red interior on my 98 I'd fall asleep.

Red wheels. Watcha think?

I'm not one for design, but I think leaving the rims as they are but adding a red accent line all the way around. Something like this:
